Works alert – Vegetation removal - MORE trees!

"As part of our work to remove the level crossing at Seaford Road the existing combined services route will need to be relocated. This will be located within the rail corridor, however, to undertake this work some trees and vegetation need to be removed."

Information just in from LXRA:

"Due to night works within the rail corridor, the level crossing at Station St, Seaford will be closed to traffic from 10pm on Saturday 8 September to 6am on Sunday 9 September. Traffic management will be in place."

You know the drill: detour further away.

Just in case you needed any reminding, LXRA are working 24/7 to have works finished to open the Seaford Rd/Railway Pde intersection by 28 September.

More photos taken at Seaford, during the Seaford Road level crossing removal project.

The last image is what was promised - on many occasions - ALL of the concrete must be HIDDEN !

We have voiced our dissatisfaction at the mustard fin decorations to LXRA and our local State MP Sonya Kilkenny has promised to take our concerns further.
You can also convey your opinion to her at Sonya.Kilkenny@parliament.vic.gov.au

Seaford Rd Crossing Artist's impression
If we had to be content with the "hybrid bridge" that was forced upon us (rather than the trench that was requested), the very least they could have done was to hide the ugly thing. Hiding ALL the concrete was requested - and promised - on many occasions !

Someone has suggested that it's simply a ploy to make residents happy with the bridge (when it's properly finished) even though they asked for the job to be done properly - with an unobtrusive trench.
